Today we zoomed down somewhat towards the South West to La Rochelle in the French bullet train, TGV. It was the first time I’ve ever travelled in a high-speed train. The higher speed wasn’t too obvious apart from the more blurry scenery.
From La Rochelle, we travelled to the village of Loix on Ile de Re by bus … it took 1.5 hours as we stopped numerous times at many other villages along the way.
After a bit of wandering around lost(!) we found the holiday home that we had been graciously lent to us by Marie’s friends. It was bigger, nicer and better equipped than most people’s homes 🙂
We ate dinner at a small place outside St Catherine’s church near our holiday home.
